Opponents and proponents of the mine are rallying their supporters to attend and submit comments.

SSSR (Save the Scenic Santa Ritas) says they rented a room at the school to answer questions and distribute their literature. They posted a list of talking points for opponents to use.

The Southern Arizona Business Coalition is emailing the area business community to speak out in support of the project as a source of jobs and economic development.
